Starting point is 00:01:42 You're listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew show. Well, don't talk to me. Yes. That's Erica Rhodes, everybody. She's talking to Drew about medication. No, it's not your fault, it's Drew's fault. It's my fault. It's always Drew's fault.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Yeah, get it on, man. Got to get it on. Erica Rhodes back in studio, back by popular demand. Aw. Such a delight. I have had more fans coming from the show to my shows. Yeah. Good. Yeah, Erika's a great standup. You should definitely go watch her.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Now you're trained as an actress. Do you do any more acting or is that over? I do it. I just don't always get roles, but. I mean, it seems like people that do that have to constantly go to the auditions and stuff. Yeah, I mean, now it's all self-tape, it seems. Okay, so you can be on the road, you can do comedy and do that.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Yeah. Do you have to go into a self-tape center? No, I usually just go to friends' places or people that have good setups. And they read with you and that kind of stuff That's really automated or sort of it's interesting going in actually Acting's weird. Yeah, you can't really depend on it. I don't think No, it's it's it's there's too many people who can do it. Yeah It's so many people who want to do it. That's too many people who can do it. Yeah, and there's too many people who wanna do it.
Starting point is 00:03:05 That's a good point. There's too many people who can do it, too many people who wanna do it, and too many extraneous kind of weird factors that you're not in control of, which is sort of the opposite of standup, which you can control. Yeah, that was the main reason I switched,
Starting point is 00:03:21 was because I just felt more control with standup. Yeah, the other one is very reliant on what people think. And then also, people's decision-making is bad. You know, the gatekeepers. Oh my God. You know what I mean? Making the decision, the casting decisions and stuff, you mean, that kind of thing?
Starting point is 00:03:43 I just, I mean, yes, and just the general sort of, you know, gatekeepers of show business, you know. I've always remembered somebody explaining when I was, they wanted to give me a radio show. The president of show business. Yeah, and I was like, how about me and Jimmy Kimmel do it together, you know, and they're like, he's a behind the scenes guy. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:04:05 I'll never forget, we were, you and I were pitching something and we were at the head of late night at NBC, the late night comedy. And it was the most unfunny human ever and didn't understand comedy, didn't know who was funny. Remember that? We were in a trailer or something and you walked out. You were just outraged. Do you remember? I remember, I remember being sort of semi-disgusted with the entire state of the union because
Starting point is 00:04:33 I went at the... That was like 1997 too. At the network level, it was a bunch of middle-aged, serious women sitting there going, this character needs to be more likable. And I was like, how about funny? And they'd be like likable. And I'm like, oh, you don't know anything about comedy and you're presiding over this network
Starting point is 00:04:54 and you're in charge of the comedy of this network, but you don't know anything and you're not a funny person. And there was a lot of that. And I just sort of went, all right, well, this is never going to work. Right. It's interesting to me, though, how I was been very struck by how we elevated 14-year-old depressed narcissist with tattoos to a deity status
Starting point is 00:05:20 if they could play the guitar for 40 years. And we've sort of gotten over that, I feel like. So the anti-social narcissist is not elevated the same way. But comics kind of are replacing it, which I kind of like, even though it's a different kind of narcissism. But it's at least sort of a smart version, and not the depressed sociopath. You guys agree with me?
Starting point is 00:05:45 I mean, I think social media has made, like, another weird sort of gatekeeping, which is now the algorithms are some sort of gatekeeper, so I still think... To be fair, it's giving us what we want, though, right? Is it? I mean, if you look more than three seconds at something, it starts giving you stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:02 That's true, but as far as talent goes, it still seems to rise, like some people rise to the top who aren't as good as people that, I mean I know plenty of comedians who aren't catching the algorithm wave that are really talented. You know, and they're not. That's something you always said too, Adam, like you.
Starting point is 00:06:17 They're not getting discovered now. You were particularly talking about it and pertained to the improv comedy. How much talent you saw that just didn't go, didn't go through. Improv? Yeah. You watch improv?
Starting point is 00:06:31 He was trained in it. Oh, oh, because you did ground, did you do, yeah, groundlings, okay. Yeah, I had a couple of, I had a couple of incidents very recently. One is I was talking to Susan Olson from the Brady Bunch fame and somehow the Groundlings came up and she said something like, oh my neighbor was Vic Wilson and I said well Vic Wilson and I
Starting point is 00:06:57 were in the same class or troupe or whatever for a while and I and then she went oh he's so talented and I went he he was amazingly talented and he he looked like James Dean and was an amazingly gifted talented I was in awe of this guy and I I don't have that much because I'm normally the funniest person in the room even when I'm with comedians which people think is an asinine thing to say but I am funnier than everybody. I'm funnier than everyone. I'm funnier than everyone.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Well listen I can. You think that he has low self esteem? No I'm an accurate assessor. I've interviewed so many fucking unfunny people who claim to be comedians of the course Okay, that Eric is a fucking comedian. I'm just a delight that she's a delight fashion Look Jimmy Kimmel will tell everyone Adam Kroll is a funny guy there But
Starting point is 00:08:03 It isn't I mean look, if you're a heavyweight champ and you can knock everybody out, then should you walk around and go all shucks, or should you go, if you go find another heavyweight and put him in the ring with me, I will knock him out. That's the way I feel about comedy. But this guy I thought was the cats me out. This guy's way funnier than me
Starting point is 00:08:26 In this arena he can do the voices he can do the acting He's got the matinee idol good looks and all sorts and did he know and she was saying Skipper, but yes, she was saying something that she was Seconding my emotion. She was like, oh like oh yeah Vic was the best Vic killed himself about probably ten years ago and and had a little had some success some you know you know worked a little bit you know voiceover that kind of stuff but never was he drug addict no no I think ever married or anything yes I think it was married I think ever married or anything yes I think he was married I think that the thing fell apart I think he started drinking and I
Starting point is 00:09:10 think they're smacks there yeah yeah it's that but I mean not drug addict like not what you'd think no no I get it kind of traditional to take it take him out a little bit you know oh yeah like yeah and so and I don't know all the I don't know all the details don't know all the details I could see the room. I could see the room. I would I work with a lot. I was but my my sister sent me a photo of the groundlings writing lab Performance whatever that she found in my mom's papers, like believe it or not,
Starting point is 00:09:45 and I looked over everybody on that thing. All people I thought were really, not all, but most, like very talented and gifted and stuff like that. Nobody's names you've ever heard of. I mean, this is 35 years ago. Like nobody broke out of it. So there's plenty of like really good people who never really
Starting point is 00:10:06 break out. That's the fucked up part of that too. Right there. Because if they focused on acting that can happen. But Erica's saying with stand-up, so with acting it's a big part of it. With stand-up it's a part of it but not a big part of it. Well I think you can have a career as a standup if you're funny. You just might not hit it big if you don't also do all the social media and everything right now. So when we were walking in here, Erica said something I thought you would find interesting. She goes, I brought up Newsome for some reason, and she goes, I don't like that guy. Good instinct.
Starting point is 00:10:41 And I thought, oh, Adam's going to love this. I've never really liked him well it is it's kind of a weird description and it comes up quite a bit with me because I've interviewed him long form and kind of had interactions with him yeah but when people say you know when people ask about news like like what's this policy, what's that policy? They answer, what I keep saying to people is there's something wrong with him, which is a weird thing to say,
Starting point is 00:11:12 because I could say, well, I disagree with this guy, you know, Mayor Adams of New York. I disagree with many of his policies, but I don't go, there's something wrong with that guy like there's something deeply fucking wrong with him, which is scary because It's sort of like you're in an airplane and he's the captain and you're not going I don't know I think this guy's like a c-plus pilot you're going something's wrong with the pilot something wrong with him You know what I mean? Like and we're all kind of at his mercy because we live here
Starting point is 00:11:46 Something seems horribly wrong with him with flawed be the right word. I don't know what to call it I mean, we do have the sociopath Yeah, he's not if he is a narcissist he doesn't have any of the charm I don't find him appealing He kind of off-putting personality. He just seems like a robot to me like when people seem like yes I don't connect them at all. Yes. I have a couple of stories that we didn't get to Earlier that I'm kind of interested in. All right, so which one?
Starting point is 00:12:26 Scientists warn men could become extinct due to testicle mutations. So some of that is bullshit. I looked at that, I went, oh, fuck. So the Y chromosome has been shortening forever. How long's forever? Probably throughout human history. But it just, you know, we are simple beings, men, and it's just what makes us men is a pretty
Starting point is 00:12:49 simple process and anybody – any man or woman can tell you that. We're sort of hamster on a wheel kind of thing. And this is just more sign of that. It's just been decaying for a while I suspect. But I don't know if they meant other mutations besides that. I didn't read it exactly carefully. Are there other mutations beyond the Y chromosome shortening? No, it's essentially explaining that.
Starting point is 00:13:14 And even at the end of the article, they say it's gonna take millions of years for it to disappear. This is the product of like science fiction. There's that graphic novel, Why the Last Man. No, it's why it's another case to make men irrelevant. See, they're decaying. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:30 So anyway. Well, look, some of it is physiological plastics and microplastics and all that kind of stuff, right? And some of it is, a lot of it's mental and emotional. A lot of it is getting sort of brow beaten into some sort of thing that men aren't, which I think is taking a lot of the wind out of a lot of guys' sails.
Starting point is 00:13:54 You know, just guys wearing bracelets and way too many fucking bracelets. Guys with 30 bracelets on them. Like your left arm's a fire hazard. Like if you went to light a candle. A man in bracelets. It's too much. It's too fucking much.
Starting point is 00:14:10 And my daughter made me this. Look, everyone thinks I'm full of shit on everything. I wrote a book called In 50 Years, We'll All Be Chicks. This is an issue. Oh. We're having an issue. You predicted it. Yes, California has an issue because there's too many fucking dudes who are wired like chicks and they're fucking the state up because they're thinking the wrong way and
Starting point is 00:14:33 We can take a look at I Had something I wanted to show you guys. I don't know if we have it yet, but it's Drew I know I'll save it for the next show for when Drew and I are just solo. But what it is is guys want to get laid. And so guys figure out what it's gonna take to get laid. And in the past, it meant being the captain
Starting point is 00:15:01 of the football team and maybe beating up the bully who kicked sand in your face on the beach and opening the car door or laying your cape down over the puddle of water. That's what it took. Now it's bracelets and talk about struggling with your sexuality. And if that's what's gonna take, then we'll fucking do it. And if that's what's gonna take then we'll fucking do it. Mm-hmm, you know
Starting point is 00:15:34 Every chick in Occupy Wall Street was there to stand against the bureaucracy and the machine known as Wall Street 86% of the guys there were trying to get a blowjob and Putting on their fucking fake bracelets and pretending that they gave a shit about the economy in Wall Street That's how guys roll so we'll fucking do whatever you tell us to do and if you tell us you don't like our toxic Masculinity, but you're with a guy who? Would talk open you know who had pronouns and would announce his pronouns You and then we'll happily start announcing our pronouns so we can get laid. Yeah, or go to Barbie and pretend you really loved it.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Go to Barbie, stand and cheer, talk about how great it is, be a white dude for Kamala. Hello, I'm white and I love me some Kamala. Could I get a blowjob, Missy? That's what we'll do. Yeah. When you first started talking about all the guys becoming chicks, that was what we'll do. Yeah. When you first started talking about all the guys becoming chicks, that was what I pointed out. I said, I think that's why they're doing it.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Because they're just, they want to be liked. They want to go along. They want to get a blow job. Yeah. Yeah. Or anything COVID. Oh yeah. All the fucking pussies went all in on fucking COVID because they're being browbeaten by the fucking Dumbo wives and they just jumped in Taking a stance against it is wildly unpopular. I mean no more blowjobs for the
Starting point is 00:16:53 Person that took a stance for the Corolla Meister. No, no No No, no, I mean once my wife at the time always idolized Valerie Bertinelli And what's Valerie Bertinelli turned on me? Yeah, you know what's it was I lost a listeners Have you ever heard of Valerie Bertinelli Interesting Well, what's what's interesting should I don't is if TV star if Amy's quiet Okay, don't worry if Amy finds the Newsweek article
Starting point is 00:17:30 Where they cite the celebrities turning against me because of my my tweet my 100% accurate the shade the sheep one Yeah, yeah, well no No, no that well Yeah, it was this kills old people and sick people and the rest of you pussies got played. And who's getting played next time? You find that article, they go on to list celebrities that hate me,
Starting point is 00:17:56 but who are disgusted by the article. Disgusted. By the tweet, by the tweet. When was this, 2020? Yes, because I was way ahead of my time in terms of calling out all the sheep when it came to COVID. George Takei!
Starting point is 00:18:10 All right, but here's the question. Corona Karma? Yeah, you are a working professional comedian, yes? Yes. We will cite the name of the comedian that they cite as one of the celebrities that has turned against me. The other, so we got George Takei, right, who you've heard of.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Yes, yes. Yes, I've heard of him. I'm not, really? I don't think people would know him without Stern, though. But true, we're not quizzing you. Okay, yes, sorry. I've heard of him. We know you know who that is. Sorry. You know who Valerie Bertinelli is.
Starting point is 00:18:43 You talking to me now? Yes. Yes, I do. Right, but we're trying you talking to me now. Yes. Yes, I do right But we're trying to glean if I understand. Yeah You know George okay, all right and you don't know Valerie Bertinelli what I'm saying is they're batting average is bad because they're saying Did that that celebrities? No, it would have been nice. It would have been funny if she did. I'd be laughing, but she's fine. She's spending Eddie Van Halen's money somewhere right now in Calabasas. The point is this.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Married Eddie Van Halen for a while. Oh, okay. They are saying that celebrities turned against me, except for the first two celebrities. They named are not celebrities You've heard of which is a weird thing to do but now you're gonna have to get to the part where The comedian, right? Comedians that went against you
Starting point is 00:19:38 Well, I'm gonna leave that up to the people that are in control of the screen I was looking at it, but they don't seem to have that part. You have to go to the part where the celebrities turned against me. Celebrities criticize Corolla's tweet and grammatically incorrect insult, that's what I call them, pussies. Dan Telfer. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:57 A comedian Dan Telfer. Oh my God, you lost Dan Telfer? You're in the comedy business. Do you know who that is? How are you not canceled? Do you know who that is? How are you not canceled? Do you know who Dan Telfer is? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:10 You do comedy. Yeah, I mean, the name sounds vaguely familiar. Would you say you know a lot of comedians? Yeah. You do not know the name Dan Telfer? I mean, it sounds vaguely possibly familiar. I don't remember me being Dan Telfer. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:24 And then the next name is Valerie Bertinelli. Bertinelli, you don't know that name. So what I'm saying is this Newsweek mission not accomplished because you're saying celebrities turned against me and then you named a celebrity no one's heard of and then another celebrity no one's heard of. Yeah. So that's not making your point. Right. Also all the text before it that just means I'm correct about, you know, he said old people die. While there's some proof that a small group of elderly, this entire article is wrong. Thank God they apologize. Oh, they always do. Oh, his tweet has since been deleted. Oh, but Dan, Dan, you're trying to, by the way, all Dan
Starting point is 00:21:06 was doing was sucking cock trying to get a little traction in Hollywood so that people like Erica would have heard who he was. He doesn't give a shit about me. Neither does Valerie Burton. Now, like they're both fucking sucking dick to try to get a little bit of fanfare from Hollywood so they could get invited to the next party or get the next role.

But the amount of times she told me to shut up about COVID is it's uncountable. Really? Uncountable. Did you listen or no? No.
Starting point is 00:24:21 No. And then the amount of times she told me to stop trolling people after I was right about COVID, everything is uncountable too. And I just said, she said, when are you gonna stop trolling people about them being wrong about COVID? I said, never, never. I'm never gonna stop this.
Starting point is 00:24:38 These people tried to destroy me. Fuck you. Yes, I'm with you, 1000%. I'm never done. I have endless sun-like energy destroy me. Fuck you. Yes, I'm with you. Yeah.

I take the task until they capitulate. I'm open to apologies and capitulation and I was wrong and finds fall on your sword
Starting point is 00:25:05 I'm in but they just want to forget about it now. Yes that they said anything I had a funny I was doing an interview earlier today And I was just talking about what a piece of shit Fauci turned out to be and how he was Compromised and how he lied to everyone and they said Well, what do you think should happen to these people? I said said, well, the first thing needs to go is their reputation. Yeah. Yeah. And then the person said,
Starting point is 00:25:29 but you don't think Fauci should go to prison, do you? And I said, they sent Martha Stewart to prison. She didn't do anything. She went somewhere for $45,000 worth of stock exchange, not destroying a country's economy and killing people. So I'm not a send him to prison guy, but if you look at it through the lens of Martha Stewart had to go to prison, it's on the table.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Well, the other thing I didn't realize is that in the Nuremberg trials, they sent, well done. I'm piling on, my friend. They sent seven physicians to be hanged for not doing informed consent essentially. Really? To be hanged? This was a hundred years ago, eight years ago.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Oh, I was like, what are we talking about? But the point is, we not only has informed consent been adjudicated and made an issue of, people have lost their life for not doing that properly. Right. And this was done on a scale It's still being done. I had somebody just asked me on DM Like do you think we should be advocating for Novavax and I thought Why are we only talking about two vaccines that is not informed consent?
Starting point is 00:26:38 There are at least four and plus plenty of treatments if you want to not choose a vaccine Nobody's doing the informed consent with their patients. It's Reprehensible All right now But somebody just got 12 million bucks in a settlement who is forced to get back there got fired. Yeah, it's good. It's on It's happy. Did they have? They have side effects from it. No, they just lost their job Yes, wow, they just lost their job. Oh, really? And then they sued them?
Starting point is 00:27:06 Yes. Wow. I hope everyone gets sued. Good job. All right, last question or last story. Because this is for you, Drew. Travel guru says that prostate surgery incontinence helped him empathize with women.
Starting point is 00:27:22 This sounds like another bullshit story to me. Yeah, but what is it complete bullshit? So first of all, he's talking about like, you know some sort of Roto-router essentially he's talking about that. I suspect well, I'm saying incontinence Yeah, and it tends to make you more incontinent that problem And the problem I have after my surgery is dribbling post-void, which is a little different. Post-whiz? Post-whiz dribbling is different than pre-whiz incontinence. Oh, pre is incontinence. Post is not.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Well, I just can't hold it, is incontinence. I can't hold my urine. And he's saying, oh, poor women, they have more, they have a shorter urethra, sometimes smaller bladder, to pee more frequently. Other than that, it's bullshit. Oh, he's not saying anything. He's not saying anything. No.
Starting point is 00:28:15 He's saying, oh my goodness, when I fly on a plane, I have to get up more often and go pee. It's so funny. There's so many stories, just one I want to call, like Christian high school students annoy bottlenose dolphins. Like stories like, did you hear that story about those Christian students chasing those dolphins? Like, how many stories are just, this isn't a thing? It's weird, right? Also, Erica, the word annoy, Adam and I have noticed that that word is overused.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Only exclusively by women. Men do not use the word annoy. Adam and I have noticed that that word. Is overused? Only exclusively by women. Men do not use the word annoy. Men never get annoyed. We don't get annoyed. Oh really? What do you use instead of annoy? Bothered? Bothered?
Starting point is 00:28:55 But do you wanna tell the story about the ducks? Ducks? Yeah. It's so good. I was in, I was in Kentucky. No, I know. I said Kentucky, but God, Oklahoma City, I think I was doing a show and I was with my girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:29:14 And we're walking, they have a beautiful park in the middle of the place with bridge going over water and botanical gardens. I remember very well going to the botanical Garden during COVID with a piece of plexiglass swinging in front of me and the ticket taker with the seven inch opening on the side and the 11 at the bottom, you know what I mean? And just going, what the fuck are we doing? And then everyone going, you shut up.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Stop saying that. I'm like, aren't I allowed to say stuff that's clinically insane? And they're like, no, you are not, because you want to get a blow job. So you need to shut up. Don't embarrass me. Stop annoying me. We're walking over the bridge, and the lake, the body of water
Starting point is 00:29:59 was sort of filled with big carp, I guess, big koi pond fish swimming around. And the ducks were all standing on the edge on the bank, sort of cement bank, but just sort of coping, just sort of the curb sort of looking down in the water. And we said, no, the ducks are out of the water. You know, they're all just hanging out on the bank. And then my girlfriend said, I bet they're annoyed by the fish. I said, I don't think ducks get annoyed.
Starting point is 00:30:34 But he texted me immediately. Everything's not annoying, you know. But I also believe- Koi fish are really annoying. I think women use the word annoying. Annoying cannot be argued with because you can go. Very subjective. How about we go back out with Ted and his wife Susan for dinner and I'll pick another name.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Ted and Tammy for dinner. She's annoying and I'll go she seemed nice to me Yeah, but annoying, you know and you go They picked up the check and she was asking about you a lot Yeah, I know but it's annoying and then you go. Okay now you've won because how could we go out to dinner? Yeah, you can't argue with annoying guys, you have to get specific. This guy got drunk and he started talking about Jews and my grandfather's Jewish. You can't just, you can just go annoying and then it's covered and then it's like a catch-all that just covers everyone that you don't want to hang out with
Starting point is 00:31:38 or disagree with or whatever. But it's especially a death knell when a woman uses it in relation to a guy they hang out with or date it. Like, why is she saying that? He's annoying. It's annoying. It's like, but that's like, boom. Again, how can you argue with it? It's over, right? Have you ever been with annoying guys? Nice guys are annoying. Yeah, nice guys are kind of annoying. What do they do that's annoying? Nice guys are kind of annoying. What do they do that's annoying? Um, yeah, I think sometimes they ask too, yet ask too many questions. Like it's like nice a little bit. They care too much. What's comedy like, you know, like stupid questions. What's it like being
Starting point is 00:32:15 a female comedian? Uh huh. So stupid questions. Stupid questions are annoying. Like not how is it care take for an MS? Yeah, that's, no, that's an okay question. Yeah. You're okay. Yeah, I think, well, you know, it's tough because I think, I think guys think, well, you have to ask about them and ask questions of them and act interested and engaged, but they're not. So they ask kind of pedestrian questions.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Right. And much like funny, questioning tells you something about somebody's intellect. That's true. And so women are assessing that stuff. What they're interested in, yeah. Or if they can figure out what you care about. If they can't figure out what you care about, then it's annoying. Of course you wouldn't tell them.
Starting point is 00:33:03 It's annoying! All right, well, if you want to watch. Yeah, it's just a thing. I don't feel like I've ever been annoyed, really. It's interesting. We've never really shared this with a woman before, and I'm noticing that for Erica, annoying is sort of a matter of fact.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Yeah. And for us, it's very confusing. Yeah, to me it's just, oh, it's actually objective. Like, oh, they're just annoying. We have no idea what you're talking about. Wow, really? I mean, really, we're like too vague. It's like, mm-hmm. It's not a term that guys use.
Starting point is 00:33:39 To me it seems pretty obvious if someone's annoying. Well, I'll tell you why. No? Let's figure this out real quick. OK okay, this is our one and only chance Yeah, but I'm gonna settle it. Okay Annoying is not correctable It seems that way we know it is it is it no if you're annoying you cannot be correct Okay, it's not a correctable behavior. Okay now man
Starting point is 00:34:07 be correct. It's not a correctable behavior. Now, men want to solve problems, you know, and we're very specific. And the reason we're specific is we go, I like going out to dinner with that guy, but he eats with his mouth open. So if he could just chew with his mouth closed, then we could have a great dinner. But if you go, he's annoying, then there is no salvation. There's no coming back from annoying There's there's he has a little too much to drink and talks a little too loud good. Keep under one martini Yeah, boom, right done. So it's like problem fix Annoying is this? Every american needs a seat at the table like all right. Come on. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about
Starting point is 00:34:44 That's just a thing. It's very broad, it's not achievable, sounds sort of satisfying, there is no fix. It's kind of dismissive too. You're just like, oh, I'm just dismissing them. Once someone is annoying, there is no fixing. The thing about you being late or eating with your mouth open
Starting point is 00:35:03 or having a little too much to drink and getting a lot that we can Fix right you are women other women annoying. Is that yeah, definitely I was just thinking I was listening to somebody do a little comic routine about and the word weird towards other women too is also Very dismissive. Yeah. Oh, she's so weird. Why is she so weird? Yeah, I guess weird is a little overused as well lately Yeah, yeah women don't use it as much, but yes. But annoying is probably more insulting than weird. Weird's a little like, oh, weird could be quirky
Starting point is 00:35:32 or weird could be like, you're just a little weird. You can be weird and quiet. Annoying is really insulting. Annoying is like, I can't be around them. They're annoying. You have to be over. Yes. All right, Erica's got dates.
